Members Thunderbroom Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 These just came out and I couldn't find one at Staples, Best Buy or Circuit City today. I even checked online at Newegg. So, I started looking on eBay. There were only about 5 or 6 auctions. I did a doubletake when I saw the one that read: $0.01 BIN $5.99 Shipping The seller has a 100% feedback rating and nearly 29,000 auctions. It's a customer return but was tested and is fully-functional. This list price is $99, and the other auctions had them ~$70 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bpocall Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Steal! +1, they're supposed to have a 6 and 8 gig version coming out soon too. The 8 gigger would more than double the capacity of my Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted August 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Now let's just see if/when I get it AND if it actually works in my phone/pda. According to the manufacturer, it won't; however, there are folks online that have this exact card and it works flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob O'Brian Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hmm, I couldn;t get a 2gb micro-SD to work in my phone (Samsung E600). But it seems to work fine in my camera. Anybody have any ideas why? Oh, and well done, T.broom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have any ideas why? Oh, and well done, T.broom! My phone accepts microSD cards. This one is microSDHC. My understanding is the formfactor is the same but the technology is different. I guess the new technology allows for packing more data on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allan grossman Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Now let's just see if/when I get it AND if it actually works in my phone/pda. According to the manufacturer, it won't; however, there are folks online that have this exact card and it works flawlessly. Depends on the device. Caution, geek content follows... There's no new technology in SDHC, they just format the card differently Some of you may remember smaller hard drives and back when DOS and Windows had a 16 bit file allocation table - FAT16, for short. 16 bit address space limits hard drive space to 2GB since there isn't enough room in a 16 bit file allocation table to address all those sectors. As hard drives got bigger MS designed and released FAT32 and a theoretical upper limit of 2 terabytes for a disk partition. *If* the device supports FAT32 then you can use the 4gb card. Most cell phones and cameras don't - and more importantly, most portable card readers don't either My camera does support FAT32 cards but my cheapo Rosewill cardreader did not so I had to spend a few bucks for a new cardreader. Not a real big deal, though You say people are using that card so you'll probably be fine, but if you use an external cardreader that might need to be replaced.

Members Thunderbroom Posted August 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 You say people are using that card so you'll probably be fine, but if you use an external cardreader that might need to be replaced. Thanks for the clarification AG! My phone (HTC Mogul) syncs with my desktop and shows up as another drive so moving files back/forth is really easy. Based on your understanding of the technology, do you think my device would read the even higher capacity cards (Sansdisk has an 8gb card now) that are on their way if it will read the 4GB?

Members allan grossman Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 My Razr *doesn't* support large cards but I don't have anything on the damn card anyway so a 1GB card works just fine. Those things are almost free now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allan grossman Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 That's the same paint image I've used as a PC desktop for years - I just resized it and uploaded it to the phone I think we've talked about that wallpaper once before. Tried to find a link for you but I think the site is offline now. I've got it in 1680x1050 and I guess you could resize it to any size you want if you're interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
